Theta measures time decay.

The others all measure volatility in the underlying stock and in the option pricing.

Not an easy concept to grasp or to master.
I am learning now about how to evaluate The Greeks by reading:
"Trading Options in Turbulent Markets"
by Larry Shover.
It is quite a technical book in places and needs re-reading of many pages.

My options bible is "The Complete Guide to Option Selling"
by James Cordier and Michael Gross
CC put me on to this fantastic book.

Also an excellent must-read is "Trading for a Living"
by Alexander Elder

S&P

PS: I ordered all through Amazon in Hardcover and at great reduced prices. My first option trade paid for all 3 books and then some!
